Testimonies of Healing

I would like to share an experience I had a few years ago, when I was making arrangements to visit my father-in-law in another city with my husband and children. Taking advantage of the fact that we would be away from home for a few days, my husband and I decided to fumigate outside around the perimeter of our house, a task I had performed before on several occasions.

One day, while I was out walking, I tripped and fell hard on my knee. I felt a sharp pain, and I was screaming.

After leaving home and moving to a house of my own, I was working on some carpentry and injured myself, such that there was evidence of internal bleeding. It is an understatement to say that I was frightened.

Growing up, I believed that spiritual healing was unique to Jesus and a few of his disciples, and that medical treatment was the only practical option for dealing with illness or accidents. But I had mixed results with medical treatment so was receptive to something better.

I rejoice for the most wonderful Christmas gift I could have asked for—the freedom to walk freely. Last year, while I was helping a friend about ten days before Christmas, I found it painful to walk.

I started wearing glasses in middle school because I was diagnosed with astigmatism. After graduating from college, I took Christian Science class instruction, which gave me a clearer understanding of man as God’s perfect spiritual reflection, and I realized I needed to challenge a limited, material view of eyesight as something that can be lost or distorted.

I would like to share my deep gratitude for a wonderful experience I had through Christian Science. As a Sunday School student, I learned so much from studying the truths in this divine Science, and it was a great help to me in school and my life in general.

During a period of great turmoil in my life following a painful divorce, I was struggling to regain a sense of peace. Newly single, but with a new full-time job and three children under the age of twelve, I was faced with both responsibility and the opportunity for spiritual growth, yet, at the time, the spiritual growth I yearned for seemed all but impossible as I found it difficult to feel connected to God, or to pray, because of the shame I was feeling over my inability to save the marriage.

I wish to express my gratitude for a healing of swollen feet and ankles, which led to a healing of anger along the way. When I experienced irritation in my feet for a few days, I didn’t think much about it or address it prayerfully.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to God for a healing I experienced when I was a boy.   Growing up, Christian Science was a very big part of my home life, and my family attended church every Sunday.
